In 2016, the company shifted its focus from infill construction, where it has certain experience, to comprehensive development projects. Diversification of the portfolio through the inclusion of large-scale projects ensures the company's continuous operations until at least 2019. Infill development is represented by 42 projects with a total area of 520,000 sq m. The average area of one project is small and amounts to 12,000 sq m, with the implementation period of 2.5 years.
